EVALUATION See the comment section. This is currently not deemed to be a critical feature. This also puts more demand on the JNLP Client implementor. However, JRE 1.4 is suppose to require HTTPS as part of core. So the JNLP specification could require this when a JNLP Client is used by a 1.4 or above JRE. rene.schmidt@eng 2001-01-15
